"In memory of a son killed in a terrorist attack, a Palestinian lawyer [Elias Khoury] paid for an Arabic translation of the autobiography of Israel’s most prominent author and dove, Amos Oz."
Dear Editor,
I very much liked Ethan Bronnner's story "Palestinian Sees Lesson Translating an Israeli’s Work", although I could not help but notice on your web page the story summary features the Israeli novelist Amoz Oz's name- but not the name of the Palestinian lawyer- Elias Khoury.
I hope that the New York Times is one of many mainstream media outlets worldwide covering the upcoming case of Rachel Corrie "scheduled for trial in the Haifa District Court beginning March 10, 2010. A human rights observer and activist, Rachel, 23, tried nonviolently to offer protection for a Palestinian family whose home was threatened with demolition by the Israeli military. On March 16, 2003, she was crushed to death by an Israel Defense Force (IDF) Caterpillar D9R bulldozer in Rafah, Gaza."

Sincerely,
